Idylwood Park Asphalt Art Design Call — City of Redmond
  • Who Can Apply: Individual artists or artist groups residing in the United States. Because the artist is expected to understand the local park and neighborhood, the selection panel will consider the proximity of the artist's studio to the project site.
  • The Focus: Unified designs for three crosswalks at West Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE and NE 36th St, adjacent to Idylwood Park in Redmond, WA, reflecting the local community while improving visibility and road safety. Design only: the City fabricates in Thermoplast and installs.
  • Compensation: $3,000 total for designs for three crosswalks. Up to three shortlisted finalists are each paid a $500 stipend to develop a draft concept.
  • Key Requirements: Online form with a single uploaded document (PDF preferred) containing: a statement of interest (not to exceed 300 words) including your connection to Redmond and understanding of the Idylwood Park community; a resume (team resumes merged, not to exceed two pages); and up to 5 images of previous design work with an image list (title, year made, short description). Finalists have 4 weeks to develop a draft concept and present in person at Redmond City Hall the week of December 14, 2026.
